CHAPTER No: 43

What is said about the One who is not satisfied with

an Oath taken by Allah's Name

 

Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Allah's Messenger (May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said:

    

"Do not swear by your forefathers. Whoever swears by Allah, let him speak the truth. And the one for whom the oath is taken in the Name of Allah, should be satisfied with it, and whoever is not satisfied, is not from the slaves of Allah."

[This Hadith was reported by Ibn Majah with good Isnad)]

 

Important issues of the Chapter

 

1) To make an oath by forefathers is not allowed.

2) The person for whom an oath by Allah's Name is made, must be acceptant of it.

3) The punishment for the person who is not satisfied by an oath made by Allah's Name.
